I-Joist Repair Form

Occasionally a beam or joist may be incorrectly cut. While incidence of this is relatively rare, any problems with an incorrectly cut beam or joist can be easily avoided by:

	Providing an Installation Guide at the job site for the builder and mechanical contractor. Please read the Installation Guide carefully to avoid miscutting.
	Reviewing layout and guide before any work begins

In most cases, simply adding a joist next to the damaged piece, or gluing and nailing plywood to the damaged piece can fix the problem. We will arrange repairs with International Paper within 24 hours of notification.

To help us help you as quickly as possible, please be prepared to give as much information you call. Please see the Biewer Lumber Repair Form for more information. If you do find an incorrectly cut beam or joist, please do the following:

	Fill out the Biewer Lumber Repair Form in full detail and fax to 517-322-3840
